Could T-Mobile CEO John Legere have done too good of a job over the last year or so? Rumors are heating up that Sprint and new owner Softbank are eyeing an acquisition of the fourth-placed U.S. carrier, which could have serious implications for the momentum Legere has put into place with T-Mo's "Uncarrier" initiative. Is such talk making any potential switchers nervous? Relax (for now) with today's recap...

Adobe Now Offers Prepaid Annual Creative Cloud Memberships

The Adobe Creative Cloud team announced this week that subscribers now have the option of prepaying for a full year of individual or student/teacher membership, available direct from Adobe.com or select channel partners. The news is likely to come as a sigh of relief for those averse to credit or debit cards, or legacy Adobe customers who simply want to use the latest and greatest versions for 12 months without having to remember to cancel the service at the end of the subscription.

DeviceFidelity Announces More Isis-Ready Cases for iPhone 4, 4S

It turns out that Isis Mobile Wallet fans have more than one choice available for NFC-enabled iPhone cases. After announcing the AT&T-exclusive Incipio Cashwrap last Friday, security expert DeviceFidelity is now offering a trio of other options, although curiously only for older iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S handsets. The $65 Isis Ready Case is a barebones solution, while the $85 Isis Ready Charging Case adds a backup battery, and the $129 Otterbox Defender Series Mobile Wallet case offers rugged protection and contactless payments, all in the same package. All of the cases are now available from AT&T online and at company-owned stores.

PhotoPresenter for iOS Goes Free, New Features via IAP

Boinx Software announced Tuesday that its PhotoPresenter for iOS app has now gone free for everyone, switching gears to an in-app purchase model for extra features that not every user might want or need. The app creates an ad hoc presentation out of an iPhone, iPod or iPad photo library, which can be beamed via AirPlay or sent to an HDMI or VGA-enabled television with the right adapter. The update adds Laser Pointer, spotlight and Finger Pointer tools via in-app purchase, with a 50 percent discount for a limited time — and previous owners of the app get these features for free. A custom logo feature is also available for $9.99 for a limited time (normally $19.99).

Google Unleashes Tool to Convert Chrome Apps to iOS, Android

The Chromium Blog announced Tuesday the release of an early developer preview of Apache Cordova, "an open-source mobile development framework for building native mobile apps using HTML, CSS and JavaScript." What does that mean in plain English? Developers can now easily port their Chrome apps to Apple's iOS App Store or Google Play though a simple workflow that taps into many of the core Chrome APIs. Google cautions that it's early days yet for Apache Cordova, but we'll probably see a lot of Chrome apps taking the leap in the months to come.

Prince Attempts to Sue 22 Fans for Bootlegging Songs Online

TorrentFreak is reporting that The Purple One himself, Prince Rogers Nelson, filed a lawsuit aimed at tracking down 22 fans "who found links to his live concerts and posted them on Facebook and blogs" without his permission. Ironically, just as quickly as the copyright infringement claim popped up on the radar, it vanished without a trace on Tuesday, with no reason cited for the change of heart. Prince sought $1 million in damages from each individual, although only two were listed by name — the rest being "John Doe" screen names such as PurpleHouse2, PurpleKissTwo, NPRUniverse, and The UltimateBootlegExperience that appear to be loyal fans seeking out every piece of recorded music the man has ever created.
